does the gear shift linkage have to be taken off in order to tilt the gear box when taking the engine out please, sorry if this seems a silly question! Car is an auto TT

Hi, Ive just bought a standard 300zx twin turbo, The turbos dont seem to give much boost and at first i thought it was because of blowing exhausts so I put performance full system on and induction kit but still not much boost, im after a a good punch up the back side that pulls your head back in to the seat, ive been told that the standard turbos could easily stand 1.2 bar of boost, is this true? how can I you get the turbos to kick in sooner?

hi guys and gals ,as a relitive virgin to the super world of z s a quick question as to fault code reading ive a 92 model ,is there any fault code readers availible in the uk market or is the fault code reader built in to the vehicle some how , i see draper do them for the 200sx , ny help would be appriciated ,

hi everyone, I need to get my wheels checked and aligned as the back end seems to skip a bit after I replaced the hicas arms (so it will need doing anyhow) anyone know of anyone who can do a good job in the rotherham / sheffield area and roughly how much will it cost? Thanks everyone

Just to let you all know spoke to Matt Bannister tonight, who visited Mike in hospital this afernoon and he told me he has had his operation and is felling good and is pleased with his new body kit ( not sure if it was sponcered by Stillen though)

to mickey at zed works. Finished my gear box and the car drives like new. Zed works comes highly recomended from me.

just out of intrest what do people compare say a 91 manual tt zx to a 94 r33 gtst like power driveability and size of the car seating room :rolleyes:

right chappies and chappieesses, just got the z back from a full service with the following observations which i need your advice on please. the front tension bushes are deteriorating ............... no probs looks a simple job and the o/s/r hicas joint is showing signs of wear now i think what my tech is reffering to is the bolt on joint(link arm) that attaches to the stub axle as i call it. is this a common problem as the track rod ends have been replaced at some time and seem o.k. as i`m a bit of a virgin on these babies whats your thoughts am i best off ripping out the hicas and putting an eliminator bar or is it a replacable part as i looked on the z centre…

My brakes and suspension seemed fine until i chipped and raised the boost on my 300tt today On my first outing i was shocked to find how crap the brakes and suspension felt I planned at leaving the brakes and suspension standard but now i need more money to make it feel safe again The moral of the story is if you have more power be prepared to spend on the brakes and suspension as well Do skyline brakes fit straight on ?

NEW SERIES OF TOP GEAR - 8PM, SUNDAY 7th OCTOBER. :dance: :dance: :dance:

I'm looking to buy a new clutch for a z32 tt. the engine is standard at moment but boost will be raised to about 14 psi max so will produce a little more than standard horsepower. I have spooted these on ebay and wonder if anyone on the forum has had any experience of them etc. cheers Paul http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Clutch-Masters-89-96-Nissan-300ZX-TT-Clutchmasters_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33730QQihZ011QQitemZ320156255488QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Southbend-300ZX-DXD-Clutch-Rally-Series-TT-433-TQ-Cap_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33730QQihZ009QQitemZ190126220016QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSA…

Results were Front 140 150 150 132 150 150 Rear Are these ok?? Engine was cold, plugs out, engine has been stood for a few months I think.

in the process of taking engine out of TT auto at present, I have read the online manual and also searched all threads on the subject,and there seems to be a difference of opinion, will the engine come out simply by splitting the gearbox and leaving box in place or does the gearbox have to be dropped, also does the torque converter have to come off before pulling engine or can it be left bolted to the flywheel, many thanks in advance

Saw it on sunday on the A60 going towards mansfield. It looked reddish, looked like it had a wide arch bodykit, spoiler. I was in the purple 300 heading the other way, flashing my lights as i went past.

Picked up my new car from him on the weekend and although the engine needs a bit of TLC i am well happy. Thanks :duffer:

has luke given himself a pay rise :) been looking at some things to buy in the future and noticed his prices have gone up. i was looking at unorthodox pulley set z-centre £295 plus VAT thats £346.63 plus postage :shock: Smithy sells them for £290 inc VAT and P+P

Picking a straws i guess. Last night i found on the passenger side a black rectangular connector not connected. I wonder if this caused the waste gate to seize. How can i unseize it. And even if i did i wonder if the turbos are still buggered. Help me obi wan you have a zed too lol.

Foot wide wet spot in the works car park today :( When car is running I only get a drip every 4-6 seconds. When I took the filler cap off there was plenty of pressure? Anybody ever tried/recommend any chemical fixes if they exist. Cheers

found the origin of the steam from the rear of my engine back. a leak from the area ringed in green is dribbling down and hitting the turbo outlet just before the lamda sensor. Cant see which one of the 2 hoses it is because they are in an awkward crevice. Is it likely that i have a split in one of the hoses or just need a jubille clip to tighten it up. They may have got knocked when my O2 sensors were fitted a while ago. What are these hoses and what do they carry and from where to where? what are the code for these hoses on the courtesy parts catalogue below?

I have a couple of SWB NA's One is a early 90 and has the original Jspec clocks which had KPH on the inside and MPH on the outside. So the car was never changed to MPH as it registered both. It still clockes in Km's. The other is a october 92 with ABS etc and had the 180KPH clocks. These were converted to MPH though it still clocks in Km's, but the power steering is so light it gives no feed back. It's a bit like riding Allybarbers magic carpet. How do i get the power steering sorted. Someone said UK clocks would sort it??

Hi, does anyone know were i can get a [Nissan 300zx twin turbo manifolds with the downpipe exaust].

Happy birthday Abi hope you have a wonderful day Paul anna and kids :duffer:

I'm trying to test the starter motor off a battery and can't get it to spin only engage. It was working before the engine came out so wan't to check the connections are correct. There is the wire with the connector coming off it and the connection the ring connector is bolted to, are there any other and which one is +ive and -ive?

Hi all, has anyone had any over heating problems with polished pleniums? as im looking into fitting one if they dont cause any problems. :) regards dan
